the reporters like that wasnt much of a discount, chicks like i dont care, i really wanted it. those discounts were really hurtin, 5 bux off, cheap ass store.
hahaha ARITZIA!!

I worked 13 hours boxing day, none of my staff worked more than 8. It ran really smoothly at my store because I had organized my day basically down the the minute. Coach across the street had a HUGE lineup all day because they didn't have enough staff working so they only let in 30 people at a time. Yikes.

After work I bought 3 pairs of ballet flats from Sterling Shoes for $70 - great deal considering regular price on each was $100+. I also got 6 DVDs and 2 CDs from HMV for $44.

Today I popped into the Body Shop and got a Satsuma/Coconut gift set - 2 body butter, 2 body scrub, 2 body wash (all full size) scrubber brush and shower poof - and a pomegranate body butter and body wash and 400mL mango body wash...all for $101!! This is by faaaaaaar my favorite purchase!

There are definitely some awesome deals out there! I was pleasantly surprised!

lucked out with no change room or purchase lineups.

the other stores were shit. the boxing day hurricane came thru and made me remember why I wait untill the spring stuff comes out...

it's waiting or online shoppiing for me.
That or going to a particular mall (outside of the downtown core) right when it opens, and then frolicking across the border. That was a good year, Ash.

I worked a split on boxing day that turned into a thru because of all the hungry shoppers. I also worked yesterday but took some time in the evening to shop and was totally disappointed. Everything I tried on was all wrong... So I'm going again today and hoping to have more luck by trying some different stores I couldn't get to before they closed last night.

I went to Voltage right when they opened. No line, not that many people, picked up a whack of toys and shirts, then went back home and hung out with friends.

Good times, no stress.

Update: Went yesterday before my hair app't and did some power shopping with Chris. Picked up a black tank, charcoal leggings and a purple dress from Aritzia, as well as a poppy/indigo/cream top and ink blue purse from Plenty. :D
